Short description:
The book is the first comprehensive treatment of the reasons why international organizations have engaged in territorial administration, from the League of Nations in Danzig during the inter-war period, to the UN in East Timor recently, and Kosovo today. It describes the role of international territorial administration, and analyses the various purposes associated with this activity, such as settling disputes over sovereignty. This book reveals the objectives which territorial administration seeks to achieve, and establishes the commonalities and differences between the various administration projects to date.
MoreLong description:
Trusteeship and the civilizing mission never ended with the self-determination entitlement that led to decolonization: international organizations took on this role in the post-colonial era, internationalizing trusteeship and re-legitimizing it as a feature of international policy. Through analysis of the history of and purposes associated with the involvement of international organizations in territorial administration, a comparison between this activity and colonial trusteeship, occupation, the Mandate and Trusteeship arrangements, and an exploration of the modern ideas of international law and public policy that underpin and legitimize contemporary interventions, this book relates a new history of the concept of international trusteeship. From British colonialist Lord Lugard's dual mandate to the state building agenda of the then High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lord Ashdown, wide-ranging links between the complex peace operations of today and the civilizing mission of the colonial era are established, offering a historical, political and legal framework within which the legitimacy of and challenges faced by complex interventions can be appraised. This new history of international trusteeship raises important questions about the role of international law and organizations in facilitating relations of domination and tutelage, and suggests that the contemporary significance of the self-determination entitlement needs to be re-evaluated.
...this book is a wonderful contribution to an underexplored area of international law. The book carefully chronicles the history of the concept of international trusteeship, and provides a political and legal framework by which to appraise the legitimacy of these interventions. The book presents an impressive blend of comprehensive empirical research and insightful incorporation of legal theory. The book is extremely well-written, utilizing precise yet accessible language. This book promises to be a tremendous resource for both newcomers and experts in the field.
